Is it me,or are the door mirrors different on each side???

Anyone know if the door mirrors are supposed to be asymetrical? - the caps and base not the mirror glass - i feel a right rodney even raising this!!!

I've just fitted S ally mirrors to my QTdi and in the process (it's a long bimetalic story) replaced the drivers mirror base with one form a b7 and now when i look at them the passenger side is more angled than the dirvers - this is the whole mirror not just the glass within the 'cap'.

I've not noticed this before - when i offer my old b6 mirror base up it looks identical to the one i've just put on?

or is there some way of setting the detent on the base-spring so that they match?

I'm not aware that they're different, but I'm not sure how you'd check really as they're obviously not interchangeable side to side. I may have misinterpreted what you've said, but if you've replaced the mirror base with one from a B7 and that mirror now sit's differently, that would suggest to me that the base's are different between B6 and B7 which is quite possible.
